4.0 out of 5 starsGrab It
By Sam Tyler on 17 May 2013
Format: DVD
The onset of CGI has done wonders for special effects in movies. Whilst once CGI was only available to blockbusters, now film makers with a more modest purse can still get in on the action. A genre that has suffered from poor special effects over the years is the horror genre and more specifically the monster sub-genre. Even till this day there are too many absolutely awful monster movies that have dreadful special effects. `Grabbers' shows this no longer has to be the case and that people should not put up with the likes of `MegaShrimp versus TechnoFerret'. `Grabbers' not only looks good, but is well acted and is funny.

Set in Ireland `Grabbers' is an alien invasion movie that has the residents of a sleepy village being attacked by flesh eating monster aliens that are a cross between a jellyfish, some algae and loads of teeth. It is up to heavy drinking Garda Ciarán O'Sheaand and his straight laced partner Garda Lisa Nolan to save the day. Who will be the most useful, the drunk or the strategist? You may just be surprised.

`Grabbers' is a film that revels in many stereotypes of both the horror genre and how Irish people are perceived. However, both are done in a very light-hearted fashion and invite you to enjoy yourself, rather than be put you off. Richard Coyle is excellent as the lead, but the rest of the cast are also very amusing, giving the film a heart and characters that you care about. The plot itself is straight forward, but that is no problem, especially when the special effects are extremely impressive for a film of this scale. When things need to be played straight director Jon Wright is not afraid to do so and he manages to balance horror and humour superbly. A great popcorn flick for lovers of gory comedy films.

4.0 out of 5 starsLuck of the Irish
By Albatross on 26 Mar. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
From a pretty average start `Grabbers' soon gets going and shows its true colours, i.e. it's not just a horror, but a pretty tongue-in-cheek comedy. And that's where its strength lies. It's at its best when it's being slightly cheeky. Yes, there's a reasonable amount of gore (but not that much). What little budget there is has been spent on the creatures themselves. And, for a mere (in Hollywood terms) £2 million the monsters are actually pretty well done. They're all computer-generated, but the CGI fits in seamlessly with the real actors all around them.

The film is about a sea-full of tentacled monsters who descend on an island off the coast of Ireland and start sucking the blood of the hapless locals. However, as luck would have it, these beastly parasites are allergic to the taste of alcohol. Therefore, all that needs doing to survive is getting out-of-your-face drunk. Of course, fighting back while plastered is actually quite hard!

Also, the film benefits from seeing the monsters (in the full) early on. In other similar monster-movies, you only get to see a tentacle here or there until the final scenes (normally to save on special effects), but here you see them `full frontal' from pretty early on.

Most of the characters are hardly developed, but if they're funny then we can forgive that.

If you're a fan of such cinema greats (!) as `Deep Rising' then this is in the same cheeky little league of its own.

3.0 out of 5 starsThey're gonna reach out and grab ya!
By Mr. J. Ryden on 19 Mar. 2013
Format: DVD
Grabbers is not too shabby an addition to the creature-feature genre; not brilliant but not bad either.

Erin Island off the coast of Eire is a sleepy wind-swept idyll populated by villagers enjoying a simple, quiet life. That is until the dreaded meteor from another planet descends from the stratosphere to land in the sea unleashing something decidedly malign with a taste for anything other than the local flora...

To be honest, there is very little to separate Grabbers from the other titles of the comedy-horror genre arguably done better (Tremors, Feast & Deep Rising) which does it a disservice as it's decent film in a quaint manner. Richard Coyle is enjoyable as the jaded, perma-drunk local Garda with Ruth Bradley as the hot-shot Garda from the mainland as potential love-interest.

The CGI special effects are done very well and the film relies on humour rather than gore for gore's sake. However, the central plot device (once they discover the aliens' weakness) wore a little thin after a while; not least as it panders to, and perpetuates, the Irish stereotype which I thought rather cheap.

In short, an enjoyable 90 minutes of fun which doesn't break any new ground but will keep you entertained over a few beers (irony not wasted).

4.0 out of 5 starsFor all you horror fans out there, no matter where or how rare, here's a reason to go Grab-happy.
By ScottPaul ScottPaul on 2 May 2014
Format: DVD
Jon Wright about turns from his first film, the actually surprisingly good supernatural/slasher Brit blender 'Tormented' from 2009, but employs the same freshness as he deliberately and lovingly mines a new movie which is several parts 'Jaws', 'Gremlins', 'Tremors' and the much derided 'Deep Rising'. The result is 'Grabbers', a booze-soaked Irish-British bit of charmingly foul-mouthed island-based horror-comedy, which, while it seems to rely more on the laughs in the 'Eight Legged Freaks' way over the flat-out scare and yuck factor method, still retains quite enough awe-striking superior CGI, deft camera angles, slimy prosthetics and skin penetrations to flinch at and get excited. 1988's 'The Blob' and older black and white features come to mind as the film opens with a meteorite striking the sea off Erin Island, a tiny coastal inlet. Within minutes (none of this infinite 'Rosemary's Baby'/Don't Look Now'/'Alien' hanging about) the monster is unleashed, and, as did 'Tremors' long before it, it in no way harms the film at all, which pulls back immediately to introduce the main characters, morose boozy cop Richard Coyle, lovely but nervy sidekick Ruth Bradely, village drunken fool (who actually isn't one in a smart stock-playing upturn) Lalor Roddy, and grin-inducing deliberate posh scientist-boffin Russel Tovey. David Pearse (from Irish charmer comedy 'Happy Ever Afters') and the usually hilarious and scary Bronagh Gallagher ( a veteran of a most surprising a blend of films ranging from 'Faintheart' and 'Divorcing Jack' to 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace', whilst also being a singer-songwriter and drummer too, heading up an Irish ensemble cast.Read more ›
